Calling All Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Michelleinhawaii:  How did your beta go? I'm hoping things are moving in the right direction for you :)

dnikki:  Wow, I'm so sorry about your job! ;(  It truly su cks.  Luvkayln is right, though.  You have a skill & will find someone who really appreciates that skill, along with your punctuality, loyalty & friendly demeanor ;)  Hang in there!  It will get better!!!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you today!  I think it's great that dh was honest with you.  Adoption is a big step & maybe once he thinks about it, he will change his mind.  Take care & update us asap!!!

Guesito:  Yay!  I'm so happy for you!!!  It su cks to have to demand proper attention from your doc, but I'm so proud of you for doing so =)  Wow, your FET is coming up quickly!

Pyar:  Yep, we're excited for our consult :)  I agree, make an appt with your new doc.  This is a crazy, long cycle for you!

Keyan:  I'm so glad you had such a great time!!!  (and that the bugs stayed outside! haha!)  I'll check out your pics soon.  Yes, I worked on Sunday.  I guess to save money, they cut off the air, which makes sense, but it was HOT!  I finished the appeal I was working on & feel so much more relaxed now...  aaahhhh!  =)  

Hannah:  Sorry, but what did you mean by "Dan has been made redundant?!"  I didn't understand...  I'm glad you're moving forward and exploring all options!  That is exciting :)  Keep us updated on your adoption process.  I'm sure there are many differences than here, in the states.  Good luck :)

luvkayln:  That's great that you'll have a high risk ob!  I know you'll still have concerns and worries, but it will be much more comforting to be seen every week :)  Well, still no +opk, but I'm remembering now that I usually get it on CD14 and then O on CD15-16.  So, it may be delayed a bit due to my m/c, but it should be soon & because I won't be using progesterone, my cycle won't be delayed at all.  Yay, soon I'll know when to expect AF & start my meds =)

Good morning Ladies I'm glad you had a good mothers day in England we celebrate mothers day in march so we've already had ours I didn't realise yours was different timing

mommyin10 not long now have you got all your questions ready for your consult how great thing are moving forward for you

mrspace aww sounds like you are having an awful time with AF hang on in there my friend i'm glad the pups are well

dnikki so sorry you are having a hard time at the mo hopefully things will pick up soon

luvkayln aww wot a cute story about your dh seeing the hb i'm so glad for you both everythings going well so far so good

hannah good for you adoption sounds like a great plan as you have always wanted to do it regardless of ttc its a difficult process but sounds as if its easier here in Engalnd than in the states from what I have read on this forum fingers crossed for you hun

stacey how are you and jake doing

candie wow a criuse i'm so jealous have a great time you deserve it

guesito 11 days to go how are you feeling i bet everything from fear to excitment good luck

lina how are you doing

As for me well I just havent got a clue i'm day 54 and the spotting has stopped all together I have chronic backache last week had sore bb's but still no af i really thought with the spotting it would be any day now i'm going to give it another week then either  way make my appt with the new clinic

[dnikki0928]

I went for my b/w and u/s this morning. RE said everything looks good - Left ovary is still enlarged (at 59)...He said he wuold rather see that than it be down to regular size  (something about it being enlarged in connection with pregnancy...). So I have to wait until 2:00 today to find out. But basically all "symptoms" are gone. So I have no idea what to expect. I didn't POAS anymore, even though I have 3 left.

If I'm not p/g, I'll probably have to go on bcp's for a month to get my ovary back down to normal size. Also, he said usually 3-4 cycles of injects does the trick, but since I'm 23, he said we've basically exhausted our options except for IVF (I won't do IVF). So the plan for now is to do more injects (probably one more time). He said it could be b/c I have bad eggs, which is possible, bad sperm, bad luck, or I'm just not meant to have anymore. Obviously he can't tell me for sure what it is unless I do extensive testing which I really don't have a desire to do.... So, it's all on the table...

I'll check in later  :-)

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Good Morning! ...........hope you all had a wonderful mother's day

me and dh had a wonderful weekend...I uploaded a few pics...since I know there is few of us here that love animals, there are few pic with animals...there is one that I have to upload with the retreats mascot...Jacky that was her name, she was a cute little dog. It was a nice place, some of its buildings date back to 1836 when it was a coffee plantation, the place needs a little TLC, but it was ok. While we were staying there, we went to the zoo, so that's why there a few animals on the pic. There is a Pic of an Observation Tower... there you get to see a panoramic view of the coast.

Now...catching up on everyone....

Mommyin09: You went to work on Sunday?! and no a/c?! why?! that's good your mil got to spend time with Carmelo and see how much he has progressed!! Friday will be here pretty soon!! ...BTW, the insects were outside the room, thank God not inside...LOL ;o)

Dnikki: I am sorry about AF and your job ;o( .....things will get better!!

Candie: sorry about AF....and congrats on your cruise vacation....well deserve vacation!

Guesito: that's great your doc came thru and is helping you! ....but man ..that clinic is something else...I know you had a few strugels with them...so I am sorry....hopefully this time you will get a sticky BFP and won't need their services anymore.

Hannah: good luck today with the blood work.

Stacey: that's great you get a year to stay at home with Jake!! tell me about work...I am 30 and just received my first SS letter....I can't beleive I've worked for almost have of my age...I started when I was 16, and although they weren't full time jobs...I did work and haven't stop!!
